. incnts are, to obtain a complete combustion before the fuel leaves the burner assuring a redu tion in the expenses and a better heat to the heating surface; to provide a combustion chamber above the jet in the burner; to provide a tan below the combustion chamber lor mixing the oil with the air and Water and also forming a revolving jet for the oil and water jets; the invention consisting in the construction, combination and arrangement of devices hcrealter more fully described and claiuuah and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in nhich the figure is a vertical section through our derice.

Similar nun'ibers refer to similar parts throughout the specification and drawing.

The base I carries the casing 2 and the connectirig-block I3. Mounted in the con- 1u-r,:tin f-blocl is the standard 4, which is provided with iongitudinal channels 5 and ti. Sidcwise inserted or secured to the con nectinQ-bloch are the water supply-pipe I" and the oil supply-pipe which commandcate with the channels 5 and 3 in the standard. For regulating the supply in the pipes, valves, or corks and are inserted in the pipe lines 7 and H. An air-supply tube ll is secured sidcwise to the casing 21. The upper end of the casing is reduced to form the jet 12. A suitable distance below the jet, a coinbustion-pan 123 is secured to the casing having! an upwardly extending: edge 123 formed thereon. (cntrally in the jet turd ably mounted on the standard is a revolving i'an l-l, consisting of the cvhndrical body If the top plate it and the vanes 17. A supporting pin 18 is formed on the top end of the standard reducing the fri tion between the fan and the standard, as the fan is ridinn on the pin with the top-plate 16. A coinbustion chaml'ier cap 19 covers the whole burner resting on the leg-members 20 be $pccifieat'lon of Letters Patent.

ing thereby spaced from the combustionpan 13. Air can be forced into the air supply tube 11 by suitable machinery to produce the proper pced on the fan 14, and, in revolving the fan at such a speed, cause a, certain centrifugal ejection of the liquid from the channels in the standard through the jet openings 21 in the cylindrical body 15 of the tan ii. The liquid is ignited by throwiing a. inn-hing piece into the air supply tube 11 through the opening 22, a burning piece of paper or wood will answer this purpose. The sleeve 3 is shifted over the opening 22 before the air machinery is set in motion. The air forced into and through the burner will bring the ignited piece past the oil ejected from. the jet-openings 21 thereby igniting the oil right, above the fan below the combustion chamber cap 19. The combustion chamber 24 formed by the jet 12 and the cap it) produces a complete combustion as the oil is forced to mix with the water and air ll] this chamber by the centri tugal ejection of the oil and Water in conncctiim with the circulating passing of the air through the fan 14; and. as the action of" ignition is accomplished in this Cflll'lbllS- tion chan'zber, the cap '19 is heated to a red hot condition promoting the combustion in the chamber 24. Through the combustion chamber 24, allowing" a good heating of the fuel and assuring a complete combustion, discharging contiruially an incandescent flame out of the space formed between the cap 1!) and the pan 1 this burner is constructed to givean economical service.

Having thus described our invention, We claim Z- 1 l.
